"Over 19 months in office they've seen unemployment drop from twelve to eight per cent. Carroll takes that as proof positive that the formula works."

How was that figure arrived? Does that include the folks who've been unemployed so long they can't receive benefits? Not to mention the increase difficulty in getting unemployment under Rick Scott's admin. Just wondering

It's pretty sad that the Nicki minaj piece is apparently more popular here than this article. But I'm not surprised.

I really don't get your post. 'Whiteys'? What sort of narrow minded talk is that? Also, are you really serious when you mention Nikki Minaj is showcasing the beauty of Trinidad to the world?
Think about that for a sec. What part of her have a overly made up, cosmetically altered, ghetto barbie doll get up is representative of TnT?
Does that watered down techno/pop/hiphop that she spews have anything to do with TnT culture? Is the song 'Stupid Hoe' representing TnT? When she made those webcam Youtube videos cursing out other 'haters' is that beauty?

Trinidad is the source of many beautiful things, but sorry. Nicki is not.
I don't care if she won grammys and sold albums. There is no quality to her music, there is no soul, no creativity, no challenge. She's just the next in a line of industry pawns, that people just blindly follow for 15 mins. She doesn't represent Trinidad...

I guess it's payback time for her label and PR creating the illusion she has talent
